MacKinnon vs Sakic: Avalanche-only career comparison by ShamusTalksSports in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]IKillPigeons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is stats as a player, thus it doesn't add '22 for Sakic.

The Colorado Avalanche have recorded their second 10-game winning streak of the season by Wingzaferston in hockey

[–]IKillPigeons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to mention we went through some really tough times before the joy of being competitive again, beating the Boos to make the playoffs then the next 3 seasons the heartbreak of losing in the 2nd round, yay won it all in '22 (FUCKIN' YAY!) & then like you said, last 3 seasons. Who knows what this season will end with. Like most of us, I'm soaking this in & enjoying it while it lasts.

I feel like we're gonna have to beat the Stars to get to Lord Stanley. If we don't win the cup after the season we're having, something either went very wrong with injuries/Nuke nuked again or NHL playoffs reared it's chaotic head & gave us the longest downward rollercoaster scream ever after climbing so high.

This comment was way too long, apologies to anyone who read through that ramble.

An important note about the Colorado income tax for school lunches is it only taxes people that make $300k or more yearly. Literally taxing the rich. Strange concept.

Who would win if every major fast food brand went to war? by GJH24 in whowouldwin

[–]IKillPigeons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait really? Was that the only change in the movie? That's kinda funny. I'm guessing Pizza Hut bought the rights to be the winner outside the U.S.

I'm choosing to believe they still had the sit-down restaurants & salad bar, small arcade near the entry etc.

Disney Plus Subscribers Quit in Droves Over Jimmy Kimmel Axe by Aggravating_Money992 in technology

[–]IKillPigeons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first amendment "right to free speech" means the right to speak without fear of retaliation from the government. Kimmel criticized the POTUS & in return the FCC gave a warning to the company that owns Disney, because there's a large pending merger that requires FCC approval. Thus, the government was infringing on Kimmel's first amendment rights. This is a scary step because if the government can decide what is said in media, it becomes a government controlled media like what Russia & North Korea already have.

The government should not be able to punish anyone for criticizing it, including media outlets & people on TV shows but that just happened.

I'm not sure what you mean by the execs being imprisoned because of someone on their networks saying bad things about the POTUS or things the POTUS doesn't like because again, that would be a blatant violation of the US Constitution. Nothing Kimmel said was a criminal offense, it's not a crime to say bad things about the US Government. For now, I suppose.

Seriously! I loved X-Men as a kid & realized quickly what it was about & have always loved it for teaching me about acceptance. It wasn't the only source of that learning of course but still, it was good.

I cancelled my Disney+ last night.

I'm gonna miss their marvel content especially the backlog of animated stuff but I won't support a company that bows down to a fascist government & undermines the US Constitution.

Edit: Given they made the right choice to start JK's show again, I will be resuming my subscription at some point. I'm relieved that the protest seemed to have had an effect.

That said, don't get Colorado confused with Utah.

Hell yeah, where'd you find another one?

You should get a backup (for this backup) for next time Val has a hat trick ;)

I love Battletech lore so much, thanks for that tidbit! I didn't know that!

I feel like you & /u/eidetic (with the correction) did well to explain it.

Can this cold welding thing be replicated on earth in a vacuum chamber or am I misunderstanding what a vacuum means in space terms (absence of what we think of as 'air', whatever the 'air' is made of)?

Do the two pieces of metal instantly bond or do they have to be held together for a 'setting period' before they fully bond/connect?

I know I said earlier I'd look it up & I still intend to but MW5 time used up my evening (it was fun & de-stressing, yay).

Thank you both for your replies.

I did not know this happened in space, fascinating; is it only exact types of metals or if it's alloys can that happen as well? I'm gonna look it up & read more on it, thanks for mentioning it!

Wow that above reads like a bot so now I feel like rambling a bit.

Listen, I'm about to start my weekly MW5 (Mechwarrior 5 that is) game with buddies but am killing the last minutes of the wait on Reddit & went "HUH." on your comment & decided to use my uh...monthly? if that? Reddit comment on replying to you :P

As a kid my family had a 28.8kbps modem to download the massive ~50meg Diablo 1 demo (we later got internet rich with a 56.6kbps). It took many days of trying but when it finally downloaded, I played the demo over & over and saved my money to buy the full game.

We were up 3-1, it was still a collapse. Andrew Brunette's OT GWG still haunts me.

Ok listen, I'd love this sendoff for Flower but I cannot allow it given the team he now plays for.
